In addition, specific common lifting problems related to hospital personnel are shown. Emphasis is on lessening the strain on one’s back by bending the knees and standing straight. Coordination is also important when lifting with others. These steps are essential to nurse and patient alike. Wooden models as well as clips of live-action lifting are shown to better demonstrate these examples. Copyright: The original and derivative copies are under copyright protection. Extent: 021 min.
